The remaining two candidates are intensifying their onslaught against Chung Mong-kyu, who is seeking a fourth term through the election of the 55th president of the Korea Football Association.
Candidate Huh Jung-moo, who ran in the election, said in a press release on the 13th, "Jung Mong-gyu is a candidate who should not run from the beginning," adding, "In the result of the production cut announced on November 5, 2024, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism demanded a severe disciplinary action beyond suspension of Chung Mong-gyu and other illegal and unfair business processes. Although the association rejected this and demanded a reconsideration, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism again rejected the demand for disciplinary action, saying there is no problem and said it will wait and see if it is implemented. There is no reason or basis for the Korea Football Association to reject the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism's demand for heavy disciplinary action," and argued that the Korea Football Association's disciplinary action against candidate Chung should come out immediately.
The Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism announced in November last year that candidate Chung, who was then chairman, Kim Jung-bae, vice chairman of the full-time organization, and Lee Im-saeng, technical director, who were involved in the process of appointing national team director Hong Myung-bo, need to be disciplined for suspension or higher.
The problem is that the Fair Trade Commission of the Korea Football Association, which is the subject of disciplinary action, cannot be completely free from Chung's influence. In fact, two months have passed, but no decision has been made on whether to take disciplinary action or not. The association requested the ministry for reconsideration, but the request was rejected.
Candidate Heo is concerned that if candidate Chung runs in the election and is elected as it is, it will cause enormous losses to the Korea Football Association. He said, "The Ministry of Culture has announced that it will impose five times more sanctions and penalties as well as the return of subsidies of 5.6 billion won, which was unfairly received under the 'false business plan'. And he warned of the exclusion of government subsidies, which can be excluded for up to five years. If these amounts are combined, the amount of loss that the association will suffer is enormous, which amounts to about 250 billion won," he pointed out.
On the same day, Shin Moon-seon also held a press conference and made the same argument as Heo. Shin urged Chung to resign on the basis of Article 29 (2) 7 of the association's articles of association, which are provisions for disqualification of candidates stipulated in the regulation on presidential election management and election announcement. "No. 7 stipulates that a person who has not been disciplined by the association or the Korea Sports Council but has other inappropriate reasons, such as similar acts that constitute disqualification of executives, is not eligible to be a candidate," Shin said. "If Chung is elected, will the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism approve it? I think he will eventually go through the prosecution investigation process. Although he has led the association for the past 12 years, he is expected to leave the association with honor, although he has some minor flaws," he said.
The election for the president of the Korea Football Association has been stalled. The election on Friday, which was originally scheduled, was suspended due to Huh's request for a provisional injunction. The Korea Football Association set a new election date of 23 days, but it was canceled due to opposition from the two candidates. All members of the election management committee have resigned, so the entire process must be started anew. 스포츠토토
Despite the chaotic situation, Chung has not stopped challenging himself to serve his fourth consecutive term. With the situation more chaotic than ever, the offensives of candidates Heo and Shin, who are trying to keep Chung in check, are also unlikely to subside.
